Yes, my daughters, at the ripe old ages of 4 and 6, still believe in fairies, and yes, they still believe in rainbows. They also believe that these 2" candles, which encompass the entire rainbow of colors, are the fairies' absolute favorite, and who's to say that they're wrong?

Each candle in this fairy set is 2" tall by a little less than 1/2" wide. If you know your Roy G. Biv, you'll also know the color of each candle in the set--red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Each candle has an approximate burning time of 30 minutes, which makes them perfect as birthday candles or for all the little ceremonies and gatherings that fairies require. Beeswax is natural, however, and sweet-smelling, and beautifully colorful, and so you'll find that your little ones will also play happily with their clean, new, unlit candles, incorporating them into all their imaginative games.

The set of candles will come to you in a hand-sewn drawstring bag, hand-stamped with my hand-carved fairy candle stamp set. Each drawstring bag is unique, and you won't receive the one in the photograph--your exact fabric print will be a surprise! Use the bag for gift-giving or for storage--I like the things that I create to be as sturdy and useful as they are pretty.
